"I couldn't stop laughing, I think with nerves and seeing Rob's face. He was terrified. If he'd been with the guys he'd have been ok, but because he was with me he was protective."

Jennifer and Rob thanked rescuer Anthony Barclay in person after the incident.

"At the time of the rescue we didn't realise it was Jennifer on board," he said. "But after all the interest it has generated I wanted to thank her for helping raise awareness of the work of the RNLI charity and for showing her gratitude to the crew."

There was a silver lining to the day's events. Later that evening, Jennifer and Rob tucked into some delicious fresh mackerel.

"Well I must say that dinner made it all worth while!! Fresh mackerel caught by the hubby @RobbieTickle gorgeous," the mum-of-two wrote tweeted next to a photograph of their meal.
